There are new exciting times brewing in the yacht charter industry! Announced earlier this year, the International Yacht Brokers Association(“IYBA” – which Churchill Yacht Partners and its employees are members of) along with IGY Marinas are hosting the inaugural Caribbean Charter Yacht Show at Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas, USVI from December 9 through December 12, 2021.
Churchill Yacht Partners’ very own Randi Myers will be attending the show inspecting the yachts listed below as well as attending and participating in the seminars.
These fully crewed luxury yachts on display are available for charter this winter in the Caribbean, including the British Virgin Islands, Antigua, St. Maarten & St. Barths. As the winter yacht charter season progresses many of these yachts will find themselves further down island and available for charter in areas like the beautiful Grenadines.
The COVID pandemic has not been easy for the tourism industry as a whole and especially the yachting industry that typically involves itineraries that include visiting and exploring more than one country during a 7-day charter. However, the Caribbean Island nations are getting their requirements more streamlined so charter guests have the opportunity to cruise and explore these beautiful islands.
